Huh? You are too smart for me Sylvester. Please break it down for this simpleton.

Okay.

This is a political spectrum graph with one axis. It is widely recognized as being for dum dums on account of it doesn't really say anything useful.

This is a political spectrum graph with two axes. It paints a much more holistic view of one's political beliefs. You could conceivably go into three dimensions if you really wanted to get nitty gritty, but this one does just fine for its purposes.

I see you missed the Cold War. I say yes, we did it once, and we should do it again, if necessary.

There are plent of socialist/communist countries in the world. Why do they all have to be that way? I know. Because socialism/communism only looks good without a free will alternative.

I wouldn't want to live in any country where a group of people has free reign to round up and execute people that have different political views than they do. Christ, if you think that has ever been what America is about, I don't know what to tell you.

Based on that graph we're only disagreeing on how to apply terms. I believe you are either, using the terms from the graph, Libertarian or Authoritarian. I don't parse it out to economics or social issues. In fact, many of those issues are not purely economic or social.

"Dum-dums" like to parse out the definitions so some types of Authoritarianism seem acceptable.

You can believe whatever you want. That doesn't make it right. Its not a disagreement on terms. This is not a discussion of theory or schools of thought. There is a right or wrong here, and an X any Y axis are right. An x axis only is incomplete data and hence, wrong. Unless you're trying to say that Ghandi and Ayn Rand are the same on the political scale, as well as George Bush Jr and Joseph Stalin.

I encourage you to take that political compass test and see where you fit on both your social and economic issues.

Actually you're completely wrong. It is 100% a discussion of theory and schools of thought.
